Appraisal
Dublin Civic Trust's 'Survey of Gable-Fronted and Other Early Buildings of Dublin City,' 2012, states 'The mid twentieth-century nondescript façade of this building disguises a much earlier structure that retains subtle clues as to its early origins, including corner chimneybreasts to the interior. While the roof has been removed, making the reading of the building more difficult, the small proportions of the floors and the shopfront would suggest a refacing of a former early eighteenth-century townhouse.'
